Warm Wales launches new company
Warm Wales Launches New Company Warm Wales is excited to announce the development of ‘Co-Cymru’ a new community interest company within the group. Co-Cymru offers community regeneration services to customers, focusing on employment, training and community friendly procurement. To assist them in this venture they have been joined by Rachel Moxey, an expert in social regeneration. Rachel was until recently the Head of Employment and Social Procurement for the Welsh Government’s Regeneration Division. She ran the uniquely successful JobMatch programme across the Heads of the Valleys area. Rachel is assisted by Mandy Summers, bringing specialist expertise in the development of employment and training packages for employers. Warm Wales was set up in 2004 by National Grid and has successfully offered support to individuals, local authorities and housing associations in Wales to reduce their energy bills by introducing renewable energy technology to homes and buildings. Phil Roberts, CEO of Warm Wales said ‘this exciting new development enables us to offer holistic regeneration solutions to communities in Wales. Warm Wales has always created employment and this development will enable us to give this area of our work real drive’. Rachel feels that ‘regeneration only counts if you are able to put cash in the pockets of local people. By offering them jobs or opportunities to develop their skills we can do this.’ She further added ‘The Welsh Government has announced only this week its drive to ensure that local people gain employment benefits from all their redevelopment activity. Company’s, local authorities and housing associations in Wales will be looking for creative solutions to achieve this and we would be delighted to help.’ For further information please contact rachel.moxey@co-cymru.org.uk or follow this link
